A strong second half was the difference Tuesday night as the Pirates rallied in the final 16 minutes to pick up 58-51 win over the visiting Mineola Yellowjackets.
Electrical issues at the main Pittsburg High School gym forced the game to be played at the junior high school and also cut into the Pirates’ practice time this week. According to head coach J.B. Littlejohn, the lack of practice time had a large effect on the game.
“It was an ugly game, but that was what I was expecting,” Littlejohn said. “With power out in our main gym, we really didn’t get much quality practice last week and it showed on the court.”
Sir Charles Perkins opened the game with a corner three for the Pirates and scored eight points in the opening frame as Pittsburg jumped out to a quick 14-10 lead.
